The beginning of a roadway curve is called the ______
The end of a roadway curve is called the ______
The beginning of a roadway curve is called the POINT OF CRUVATURE at the beginning of the curve , it is that point where the alignment changes from a tangent to circular section within that circular curve .
The end of a roadway curve is called the POINT OF TANGENCY at the end of the curve , it is that point where the alignment changes from circular section to a tangent section within that circular curve .
EXTRA INFORMATION :
Both of these points comes under the horizontal curves . As we all know their are mainly two types of curves that is :
#NOTE :
Thei is one more point which is called as POINT OF INTERSECTION OF TANGENTS , at this point the tangets intersects each other within in circular curve .
HOPE SO YOU WOULD APPRECIATE MY EFFORTS , PLEASE PROVIDE POSITIVE RATINGS . THANK YOU
